Tourism in Crete

Tourism is the most dynamic economic sector
in Crete. The growing demand for tourist
infrastructure has led to expansive construction work and investments on large
hotel complexes. For many tourists, Crete's
main lure is its long coastline, which boasts swaths of stunning beaches and
picturesque bays. However, there is so much more to this island and so much of
it remains largely untouched and unvisited by tourists. Here you'll come across
picturesque villages, majestic mountains and peaceful monasteries, regions
blessed with a variety of historical and cultural monuments and magical
landscapes of unique natural beauty.

The tourist industry is constantly
developing in order to upgrade its services and help visitors experience the
beauty of this island, which has become a classic tourist destination.
